Premise
Using Poleepo's API keys, you can send your online orders to external logistics systems that are integrated or can be integrated with Poleepo. You can also receive information on the processing status of your logistics centers, which will optimize the management and speed of your orders' delivery until shipment confirmation, which will be transmitted from Poleepo to your online sales channel.
Stores that do not have a storage warehouse or logistics resources can take advantage of external 3PL logistics, which will improve operational efficiency and order management, saving costs and streamlining the sales flow.
How to create and configure a 3PL external logistics service on Poleepo
Open the left menu, go to Suppliers > Your Suppliers > Create Suppliers
Subsequently you will have to indicate the name and the minimum and maximum supply days and, in this case, since it is an external logistics, tick the "external logistics" flag at the bottom.
Finally click on the " create " button at the bottom right.
You will be able to find the newly created Supplier in the "Your Suppliers" list.
To connect the products on Poleepo to external logistics, you will need to add the supply associated with the supplier you just created.
Creating API keys for external logistics
Subsequently, in the "Configuration" > API menu section, you will need to create the API key that will allow communication between Poleepo and the logistics service.
Click "create key" to create the API key.
From here you can manage your login credentials and configured WebHooks.
Please remember that this is sensitive data and should not be shared lightly.
Next you will need to name the key and specify the various permissions:
Supplier Permission : Specifies what information the key will have access to. If selected, the supplier will not be able to view data from other suppliers.
To show external logistics only orders related to its supply, select the supplier you just created and associated with your logistics as the supplier.
Order Permissions: Access to order list, order status, and inventory allocation.
Product Permissions : Access the product list, create new products, update product data. Create and edit publication data.
Shipping permissions: Access the shipping list, create new shipments, update shipment data. Create, edit, and download courier waybills.
Finally you will have to click the " save " button at the bottom right.
This will successfully generate your Poleepo API keys (public and secret).
Copy and keep safe the newly generated credentials, which will be entered in your reserved area of the external logistics service you have chosen.
Please note that you will not be able to view your private key again once it has been generated.
The private key will no longer be accessible once the alert is closed. Copy it and keep it safe.
Remember to enable the newly created key via the flag at the bottom right.
Thanks to the created and activated API keys, logistics will be able to download orders containing only the products stored within that logistics.
